What is Dementia Action Week?
Dementia Action Week is an initiative spearheaded by the Alzheimer’s Society to encourage people to act on dementia. The week aims to bring communities together to improve the lives of those affected by dementia. Each year, a new theme highlights key issues, such as diagnosis, support services, or care challenges. The campaign works to educate the public, influence policy, and drive forward positive change through individual and collective action.
Dementia Action Week is a vital annual campaign that encourages individuals, communities, and organizations across the UK to take action in support of people affected by dementia. Led by the Alzheimer’s Society, this week-long event focuses on raising awareness, challenging stigma, and fostering a dementia-friendly society where those living with dementia can live well and feel understood and supported.
